Your donations

I just went to the local hardware store in Santa Marinella and bought 23 plug-in heaters for delivery to Norcia to help get people through the winter who have to stay in tents and small portable houses. I also bought a bag of batteries, don’t know how many but it was pretty much all they had in the shop.

This cost about 500 Euros, and it was paid for by you, our readers and friends who so generously donated over the last week or so. Before the end of the weekend, we are going to go to the supermarket and buy flats of tuna, olive oil and other groceries. A van is booked for Monday, and will be traveling up to Norcia with all this stuff in the afternoon.

In a week or two I will be going up to sort out the house. At that time, we will take another load of stuff.

About the authorHilary White

Hilary White is an Anglo-Canadian, who started researching, writing and lobbying in the political end of the pro-life movement in 1999, moved to Rome in 2008 and covered Vatican and European news related to "life and family issues" from a Catholic perspective until May 2015. She lived for two blessed years with her three cats and garden in the Peaceable Kingdom of Norcia, in Umbria, until the terrible day when the world fell down. Now transferred to a farm house near Perugia, with a bit of land and a large tomato patch, she continues to chant Vespers in Latin every day, and refuses to go to Rome for any reason whatsoever.
She hopes the world does not end before she can get the last of the tomatoes in.
